Having earned international acclaim for their 2009 debut, “Reservoir,” Canvasback Music/Atlantic recording group Fanfarlo has announced the upcoming release of their eagerly awaited new album. “Rooms Filled With Light” arrives in stores and at all DSPs on February 28th, 2012.
The album is heralded by the new track, “Deconstruction,” which will be available at all leading digital retailers on Tuesday, October 18th. The track is accompanied by the London-based band’s own 15-minute “meditation” on the song’s musical components and what happens if the song just continues, entitled “Reconstruction.” NPR just debuted “Deconstruction” as its influential “Song of the Day,” hailing the uplifting track for “pack(ing) an awful lot of winning ingredients into a little less than five minutes. Next year is only minus-three months old, and this is already one of 2012’s best songs.”
What’s more, Stereogum recently premiered the “Deconstruction” companion video, directed by filmmaker Alex Southam. The inventive black-and-white clip is streaming now at Fanfarlo’s own newly relaunched www.fanfarlo.com.
Fanfarlo is set to introduce fans to the songs of “Rooms Filled With Light” via a brief series of upcoming U.S. tour dates (see attached itinerary). A full-scale North American live schedule will coincide with the album’s release details will be announced shortly.
“Rooms Filled With Light” marks a major step forward for Fanfarlo, incorporating new textures into their already eclectic sonic palette. Songs such as “Replicate” available now for free download at www.fanfarlo.com feature more experimental instrumentation than those found on the band’s debut. The guitars are now electric instead of acoustic, while synths and samplers have emerged in place of mandolins and glockenspiels. At the same time, “Rooms Filled With Light” takes all the themes, musical and lyrical, of its predecessor and vastly expands them with all the confidence of a band gaining control of their aims and abilities.

Gardens & Villa
Gardens & Villa are an indie rock band from Santa Barbara, CA. They formed following the collapse of a noisier post-punk band and a hitch-hiking journey up the west coast. Members Chris Lynch, Adam Rasmussen, Levi Hayden, Shane McKillop began playing in earnest as Gardens & Villa in 2008. The name is pulled from the location of their house on Villa Street, and the property's lovely garden to which they tend. The music they make is very much connected to coastal city they call home — the stoney bike rides, dance parties, a scene free of judgment. The band refers to this Santa Barbara feeling as "coco vibes." For two weeks in the summer of 2010, the band camped behind visionary and now-labelmate Richard Swift's Oregon studio. No shower, no kitchen, but all the magic you could ask for. After taking a band oath to always play all parts live — a la Talking Heads' Stop Making Sense — the band added member Dusty Ineman to supremely execute the live incarnation of the band. [c/o Secretly Canadian] They are signed to Secretly Canadian records. Musicians: Chris Lynch: Guitar, Vocals, Flute Levi Hayden: Drums Adam Rasmussen: Piano, Synth, Vocals Shane McKillop: Bass, Vocals Dustin Ineman: Percussion, Synth, Keyboard
